Federal Vital-Shok TruBall Deep Penetrator 12 Gauge 2.75" 1 oz Rifled Slug
$8.41 - $601.60
Federal Premium Vital-Shok TruBall slugs deliver exceptional accuracy and performance for smoothbore shotguns. These 12 gauge, 2 3/4" shells are loaded with a 1 oz hollow point rifled slug, achieving a muzzle velocity of 1300 fps. The innovative TruBall design places a plastic ball between the wad and slug, ensuring the projectile remains centered in the barrel for improved accuracy. This results in tight groups of up to 1.4 inches at 50 yards. The clean separation of components after leaving the muzzle further enhances accuracy and increases downrange energy, making these slugs ideal for medium game hunting.
